Rwanda migrants: First group due for deportation rounded up by police

Описание: The first migrants set to be deported to Rwanda have been detained. The Home Office said a series of operations took place across the country, with more activity due to be carried out in the coming weeks. Officials have not yet said how many people have been detained, or where they were taken into custody. It comes ahead of the Government's bid to get flights to send migrants to the east African nation off the ground by July, after the Safety of Rwanda Act became law last week. Video shows, a team of about six officials – all thought to be from the Home Office's Immigration Enforcement unit – arrive at a terraced house and enter through the front door. 'A man dressed in dark-checked trousers and a light-coloured hoodie then walks out of the bay-fronted house and steps into the rear of a detention vehicle. A security grille is then locked behind him. In a second sequence, officers arrive at another terraced house and then leave with a bearded young man dressed in black trousers and a black hoodie. The man walks out of the white-rendered property with his hands handcuffed in front of him, and is placed in a van. The faces of both men were obscured in the videos and the locations of the detentions have not been disclosed. It is not known at this stage how many people have been held in total. Operational teams within the Home Office have been working at pace to safely and swiftly detain individuals in scope for relocation to Rwanda. The Home Office has increased its detention capacity to more than 2,200 detention spaces, trained 200 new caseworkers to quickly process claims and has 500 highly trained escorts ready. #immigration #deportation #britain
